Murfreesboro-based Thompson Services has been acquired by residential and commercial service and repair Hiller Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electrical.

Owned by Jim Thompson, Thompson Services has serviced more than 5,000 homes in Rutherford County and surrounding areas since 2003, according to a news release.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

“When we were looking at the opportunity to sell our business, we were looking
for what was most beneficial to our customers and the Thompson Services
family," Thompson said in a news release.

“I am so excited for our employees to receive the training of the new
technologies at the technology center that Hiller already has in place," he added.

Known for the smiley face logo on the side of its trucks and vans, the Nashville company was founded by Jimmy Hiller in 1990. He said one of the things that made Thompson Services an attractive partner was the company's reputation for customer service and integrity.

“We are looking forward to continuing to deliver the same premiere service and the same values that Thompson Services customers have come to expect over the last 15 years," Hiller said in the release.

Since its inception, Hiller's company has grown to include a fleet of nearly 470 trucks, 620-plus employees and 15 locations. Services are provided in Kentucky, Mississippi and Alabama.
